Falling Sleet

A xiao flute brought two people together, binding them in an entanglement that lasted through the ages.

She was merely a cultivator in the immortal realm who kept a low profile. In her spare time, she tended the flower beds before her door, keeping company with falling cherry blossoms. As dawn broke, she danced through the fleeting light. When an otherworldly man from the forest trespassed, she should have killed him. But the lingering notes of the music, trailing on without end, sent her dancing wildly along with the melody. Only then did she learn that he was the renowned Music Commissioner of the Divine Realm. At their first meeting, he looked back at her, unable to bear leaving, and their fates became entangled for three lifetimes, though their lives were tragically short in every one.

She said, "This piece is called Falling Snow. We met in early spring, when the new snow was beginning to melt away. All that remains is to wait for it to disappear. Soon, the flowering cherries will bloom in all their splendor, then fall on the wind. Snow falls, cherry blossoms fall. Zi Luo hopes to face the unpredictable laws of Heaven with you."

He said, "I, Yu Fuyin, have decided she's the one. I will spend thousands upon thousands of years by that woman from the forest, even if I lose my high rank and my beauty fades across a thousand lifetimes. Kindred spirits are hard to find. No one in Heaven truly understands my music. What use is it to compose so many pieces? But she..."

And he did not know that another love-struck soul was every bit his equal. He was a revered figure of the demon realm, bent on ruling a prosperous age, and he had killed countless people, yet he would not allow anyone to hurt her in the slightest. Twilight swallowed his dark hair, and white strands crept to the ends. His love for her would never be severed.

Thus began a journey to find divine artifacts and put the spirits to rest...
